It is strange the way the world works or should I say doesn’t. So many different views, opinions, theories, laws, rules, capitalism, communism and every variant in between. The human condition is one run by what we know is right and we trust everyone to accept it and abide by it. Yet we know that there are unjust laws and rules, that discriminate against all sorts of things. Lines have to be drawn but all to often they are in the wrong place. No matter how enlightened we become there are countries where inequality, prejudice, ethnic cleansing, religious bigotry and other horrendous ideals are carried out.
Science should be relied on most of it is provable, absolute, the Earth is not flat, Earth revolves around the sun, gravity, light etc etc etc and yet there are many who dispute these facts. Science has not proved everything and there is still a massive amount to understand. I need not reiterate the madness of those who have absolute belief in the Bible! We know more than at any time in our history and yet seem unable to agree on so much. Countries follow their own agenda and if the current thinking does not suit them or is too expensive they either don’t comply or provide some mitigating reason why they can’t. It is understandable that the economies of many are fragile and not able to support the urgent need to save our planet. Some are simply ruled by religious laws or ideologies that cannot accept the common view? Surely there is enough money sloshing about that none of theses problems are insurmountable? The trouble is that we collectively don’t have the will or care sufficiently to really do anything meaningful! I was discussing this with my very good friend Peter, the other day and we concluded no matter how “green” we try to be the little we do makes no difference. And before you shout and say if everybody thought that nothing will change, neither of us will actually stop behaving as responsibly as we can. It is easy to sit back and say it is someone else’s problem and frankly for me heading toward my final years, it is even easier! Humans will eventually be wiped out just like the dinosaurs, it is inevitable and our hubris in thinking we are here for ever is pitiful!
Stay well (and happy!😃)
